Patch 3.56?

[NaesakiAshwell]

Do we know what's to be expected in this pre-expansion patch?

I wasn't around at the time during the ARR to HW equivalent, but I assume similar things will occur.

From what i've heard:

3.56 = Story
3.57 = Begin story of Stormblood?

3.57 will most likely remove the loot cap for Alex Savage and MAYBE double the weekly tomestone cap, if 2.5 is anything to go off of.

AFAIK 3.57 will lead us into stormblood will search for a source.

4.0 will be the stormblood patch, and 3.56 is the leading up to that. 3.57 is most likely a lockout temoval patch as mentioned.

This just mentions there are 2 patches, nothing about 3.57 leading into stormblood, other than it beimg the final patch. it wont have story if thats what you think that means.

The link i posted earlier:

"Two more patches are planned for the game before the expansion launch, both 3.56 in a couple of weeks and a 3.57 patch at some point after that. He could not, however, discuss whether or not players would have a new trial a la the Steps of Faith; players should just be ready for big changes to hit Eorzea to set up the expansion."

Story, a final trial, more story.

3.57 = Begin story of Stormblood?

The Stromblood story already began with patch 3.4

3.57 could be a new season of the feast?

My guess?

Conclusion for the Heavensward Storyline
Scripture cap increased to 900
Savage loot unlocked
Sophia and possibly Proto-type Alexandrian gear allowed to be turned in
A trial of some sort similar to Final Steps but nowhere near as hard/frustrating

Pretty much that if they keep the old ARR to HW routine. After that we will have a "hotfix" or "filler" patch (reduction of tomes needed for specific gear via vendor, for people to catch up), with the story going towards the new expansion, to a point were you don't want to wait for the early access anymore and want it to be released yesterday. Plenty of live letters in between, showing you what you can't play yet and you're getting even more annoyed lol. Please look forward to it.
